Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KGirlTrucker81 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

One source don't establish notability.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Ok, I will elaborate on the last 2 references (namely Star of Mysore (27 April 2017) and AMNH Research: Mancala Board Games). The 1st one doesn't even mention the name of this association while the last one is only a mention. What Wikipedia requires is references which discuss the subject in detail. We don't want references which only mention the subject and then go on to describe something else (even if its related here). The references must discuss about the association here to meet General notability guidelines. Please go through the links provided above and feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Lack of references with significant, high quality, in-depth, independent coverage. Refs 1&2 indicate that the museum exists. 3 has some good information, but needs additional reviews or news stories about the museum.

I will be closing this debate shortly. I thought it would be fair to give you the courtesy of a note so you can understand my logic. The sources you posted, with the exception of this Spiegel article, do not meet our sourcing criteria for inclusion. Several AfC reviewers tried to explain this to you in their comments, however based on your post at the deletion debate (at MfD), it appears you may not have understood quite what they meant (which is understandable; sourcing requirements and notability criteria on Wikipedia can be fussy and frustrating even for experienced editors, let alone newer people). Basically, in order to pass the article, we need sources that specifically discuss the International Board Game Studies Association, in-depth and at length, and which are published in places known to be reliable. The Spiegel article is a really, really good example of the kind of source that reviewers are looking for. The entire topic of the article is the IBGSA, it talks about them as an organization and isn't just an event advertisement, and it's a major German newspaper so we know they're reliable.

The problem with the rest of the sources is that they fail those criteria. Quite a few of them, like the Star of Mysore source, aren't actually about the IBGSA at all, but only name-drop it briefly. Others, like this one on ITV.com are simple event listings, and don't discuss or explain the IGBSA at all. The one from the Nurenberg Museum blog is borderline: it's in-depth enough, but given that it's a blog discussing an event being held at the museum, so it's hard to take it as independent, which is something we require.

If you had more sources like the Spiegel article, I think the article could pass with some modifications, but the main thing is more in-depth, independent, reliable sources. If you had an account, I could move this to your userspace, but lacking that ability, I'm going to close the debate as delete. I have full access to the deleted text, so if you do locate any more sources that would meet the criteria I stressed above, please feel free to either put them here (I will watchlist the page) or on my own talk page, so I can check them out and let you know if they meet our criteria. If enough sources are located, I will undelete the draft so you can work on it again. Fair? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:50, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Pippa Middleton. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. St Anselm (talk) 03:09, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
